After reading Teaching Adolescents to Become Learners [...] (Chicago University), I found that my academic mindset is growth mindset. I chose growth mindset because in order to succeed in school, you must put in the effort required. I believe that with hard work and effort I am an amazing student. I’ve come to realize that my effort and level of focus shows in my work. If I’m focused and everything is going good for me, my work will reflect that. If I’m not focused, stressing out, have a million things going on then that will also reflect in my work. I tend to give bad quality work or academic effort when I’m not focused like I usually am. For some reason, I feel the need to perfect everything I do. I hate to say it, but yes, I am a perfectionist especially when it comes to my school work. I constantly try to improve myself from the last semester or last academic year to see what steps I could take to better myself as a student. A growth mindset is the best for me to achieve academic success at DCCC because my college years are all about growth in every aspect of my life. Keeping the “I can do this” mindset has always been the best for me when it came to school, only I can make myself successful. If I keep the mindset of always wanting to improve and better myself, that’s all I’ll do. I can’t wait for things to fall into place or work out in my favor; I have to make it happen, personally and academically. I’ve always said “there are two things in this world nobody can take from you, your talent and your education”. That’s the motto I’ve been living by since high school and it has kept me grounded and focused most of the time.
